Ringtones are the sounds a mobile phone makes when you receive an incoming call or text message. These melodic sounds are the first step in identifying your handset, and have quickly become a great way to personalize your device.

The earliest klingeltöne, known as monophonic, only played one note at a time. More advanced technology, called polyphonic, allows for more than one sound to be played at a time.

These ringtones are often based on sequenced recording methods like MIDI. MIDI is a communications protocol that allows computers and electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other.

Polyphonic ring tones, developed later, use synthesized instruments along with the sequenced recordings, allowing for much richer music and more variety. These ring tones can include voices.

Sing tones, a unique type of ringtone, combine a cell phone user's recorded voice with a backing track. These ring tones are popular with people who like karaoke style songs.

Adding a custom ringtone is an easy and fun way to make your phone more personal. Many ringtone apps let you cut and edit sound files to create your own ringtones.

Pi Music Player is a simple, but powerful, music player app that also includes a ringtone cutter function. Its five-band equalizer, metadata support, themes and backgrounds, and gorgeous UI make it a nice choice for music lovers.

Ringtone Maker is another good choice for making a custom ringtone. It loads a sound file, cuts it where you want, and saves it as a ringtone or notification tone. It supports a lot of different file types, including MP3, WAV, AAC, AMR, and more.
